I have a memory of an old game. Probably from the Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis era, but maybe a Nintendo game, or one of those early CD-using systems that weren't really popular but existed around the same time.
It was a strategy RPG, akin to Shining Force in that you have characters on a grid-based map and move them around, menu-based to choose who to fight and such.
The opening scene is a castle besieged. I forget if you actually play the fight or it's just a 'cut scene', but the crown prince (the protagonist?) is told to retreat and save himself while the troops make a last stand to buy him time. I think one of the soldiers telling you to flee is a centaur, maybe?
It is also possible, though I think rather unlikely, that I dreamt up that scenario and it's not a real game. But if that rings any bells for anyone and you can point out the title, please do. I"m curious to try to find a plot summary or a Youtube play-through.
EDIT: I'm in the USA, so it was something for sale here and in English.
